A few events of note passed without notice – I thought I’d mention them: 6-Years On Low Carb 6 years ago this past September, I sat down one Saturday and read the Atkins Diet book. I tried it for 2 weeks, lost 20-lbs., then decided that low carb was not for me – and went [...]

Please forgive a post perhaps more rambling than most – I just noticed I haven’t written in a while and thought it unseemly to make the site appear abandoned. You might think that I was abducted – or gave up on low carb and went on Jenny Craig. Or said ‘to hell with this’, bought [...]

11-21-08 The morning did not start with an Atkins bar – in fact, none were had this day. It was a crazy day of meetings and much mental work, which left me drained. In between meetings I ate my lunch – the chicken bacon with Brussels sprouts, and stayed an hour late to finish up [...]

Today’s eats were an Atkins bar around 10am – of course I had my coffee with cream at 5am, however – does that count as breakfast? Lunch was the last of the frozen london broil with Brussels sprouts. It was just OK – maybe I’ve had enough of this for a while. Prefect timing – [...]

The morning started with the Atkins bar. Lunch was most of 6 scrambled eggs made with some milk and sour cream. The rest was finished off near 6pm, along with a second Atkins bar. On the drive home, my wife called and wanted to go out for dinner. With the kids, the best bet is [...]

Do you think of yourself as a crackpot, dear reader? The survey that I put up 2 weeks ago shows that a lot of you have been on low carb for a while – and you’ve lost weight doing it. And part of the reason you visit the site is to hang out with other [...]
